Born in Lisbon, 1951, I had my life divided all the time between Lisbon and Porto, due to family and professional reasons. I attended a Professional Course of Photography in APAF - Associação Portuguesa de Arte Fotográfica, in Lisbon (2010-2011) and another of Contemporary Photography in the Atelier de Fotografia de Lisboa (2010-2011), among other short courses and workshops. Photography entered my life to replace the painting course which had been denied to me by my family while still in my youth for family business reasons. I started photographing landscapes and I had my first exhibit, in Lisbon, in Instituto Camões (2011), under the name "Portugal em Objectiva". My work was published in Photoblogs and galleries like Getty and Arzilla online. I belonged to a photographic group, "Colectivo F4" and with this group participated nin the first Iberian Documentary Photography - "Planalto Fotográfico", which took place in Mogadouro (Trás-os-Montes), with a first exhibition there and a second one in Porto. With this collective work a book was published. Later, a second book followed with work done by this group under the title "Trees". I have participated in several collective exhibitions of this group, which took place in the Group's Gallery, in Rua do Ferraz st. More recently, I have dedicated four years of my life to photojournalism and have collaborated with CNN following the group "Occupy Lisbon". This made me get closer to people and feel a strong will to photograph them. That is why I made up my mind to create my first photographic studio, where I started making artistic portraiture. I am also working with plastic and visual artists creating their artistic portraits and also paper and virtual catalogues for their exhibitions and contents for their websites. These experiences took me to new projects of art installations where photograpy combine with art. I participated in some exhibitions in Porto (Porto Cruz) and Torres Novas (Fábrica das Histórias). Since last year I have been collaborating with the ONG "Mundo a Sorrir" to photograph their most relevant events and create their photographic images database. This collaboration took me to Guiné to photograph their work in progress there. So, I have been also working as a documentary photographer.
